Good Land Bee Supply HE2MAN 2 Frame Beekeeping 304 Stainless Steel Drum Honey Extractor With Stand - Manual

I read a review that said this 2 frame honey extractor was in the top 10 for 2023 but that it didnt come with instructions. It did come with instructions but even without instructions, is very simple to assemble. Took about 15 minutes to set up. It was double boxed and some of the screws were loose in the bottom of the box so check before you throw out the packaging. Quality exceeded my expectations for the price ($222 w/tax) and slightly cheaper than buying one at TSC. Nearly half the cost of comparable products from major bee supply companies and Im confident this one should last for years.

Easy to assembly if all of the nuts and bolts were with it. I believe this to be more of a delivery and handling issue. I'll be on my way to Lowes for hardware. Otherwise it appears to be as advertised. A small scale extractor. I will update after usage tomorrow.

Alcohol powered....Thought I would share my experience. Having tried the economy, all plastic/nylon model which died within 3 seasons I bought this one. It arrived within a week of ordering. It came double boxed and was in fairly good shape on arrival. Upon opening I, like others found that all the mounting hardware was loose in the box but with extensive searching was able to locate all of the pieces. The instructions dont quality as such but with a bit of common sense, one can overcome this obstacle. One of the 3 legs came undrilled but I have a good shop and was able to drill out the mounting holes ok. Cleaning obviously needs to be done. Partially filled with hot water and dish soap and then turn the handle gently to agitate. Wipe out and the sterilized with boiling water. Now, on to spinning. Balance your frames and it is best to screw this down to the surface you are working on. The extraction process is quick and easy and the unit worked flawlessly. It is easy to turn, spins smoothly (as long as your frames are balanced). I can recommend this product but do heed the downsides in this and other reviews. Know that it may take a little homestead ingenuity to get it put together. And one last thing. I'd recommend buying lock washers for all the leg bolts (9) as the vibration tended to loosen them up. For small scale, private use, this seems to be a great product.

It works pretty well for a very cheap honey extractor but still, for nearly $200 I at least expect all the hardware to be there. In this kit, I'm missing 7 bolts and 4 nuts. The hardware that was delivered was just loosely tossed into the box. The lid is not hinged as advertised. It works once you go out and buy the rest of the parts needed for assembly, but I cannot in good conscience give more than a two star review to an incomplete product.

Very well made, easy to use as well as clean.I am very happy with this product and will recommend it.
